My friend and I got our naval piercings this weekend and they came out great! It was very quick, probably in and out in 2 minutes which was very convenient and the piercer was very nice. I see a lot of people on here complaining out the other staff however the front desk people were very professional to us. Will be going back for all my piercing needs!

I got the snake eye piercing done here! The piercer was super friendly and the piercing was very quick but painful of course! However he did not give me a long enough bar for swelling, I had indentations from the balls on the end pushing into my tongue and it was painful. The ball on the left side fell off 5 times in just 24 hours because the bar is too short. I wouldn’t recommend getting this specific piercing done. I should’ve done more research before I got it done so that is my bad, but I do wish the piercer would’ve informed a little more on it. It’s super cute but just not worth the hassle.

I went at got my earlobes pierced and it was super fast and super professional. Aftercare was very easy to follow and it healed up nicely. Staff and piercer were all very friendly to talk to. Thinking about getting a tattoo from here now!

After buying some earrings I asked the young lady to put them in and she said Im not licensed....I told her you don't need one in iowa...she replied YES you do...ask my boss ...then I was told I didn't know what I was talking about and treated like I was ignorant on the topic....so I asked Google! I wonder why a company lied to there employees???

Got two tattoos from Jessica Kloos today and I’m in love! She took the time to redesign a tattoo my step mom got and was totally professional and cool with it. She kept the conversation going during our tattoos and was very friendly. 10/10 recommend her! :)

Very nice piercer his name was Chris. Walked me through it and sent me the aftercare email. The issue is with the other staff. I had mine done 2 times there when I went to reach out with questions I was met with rudeness and got no help. I was told to just took at the email. I still have no answers and feel like I wasted money going to this place a second time.
